What is another word for developmental genetics?
Pronunciation: [dɪvˈɛləpmˈɛntə͡l d͡ʒɛnˈɛtɪks] (IPA) 
Developmental genetics is an interdisciplinary field that combines genetics, developmental biology, and molecular biology in the study of how genes control development. The study of developmental genetics is essential for understanding how genetic variation contributes to the diversity of traits and diseases in populations. Synonyms for the term "developmental genetics" include molecular embryology, genetic embryology, and developmental genomics. Molecular embryology refers to the study of the molecular basis of embryonic development, while genetic embryology focuses on the genetic mechanisms that underlie embryonic development. Developmental genomics is a more recent term that reflects the use of genomics technologies in the study of developmental biology. Overall, these synonyms highlight the multidisciplinary nature of the field of developmental genetics.
